Übergabe
I think they mean "hand over", which would be "Übergabe".

weitergeben/Weitergabe
"hand off" (noun/verb) in project management context means e.g. getting or sending/delivering e.g. files from the customer or to translators etc. i.e. the process of passing; perhaps you could specify more context as you are mentioning DEVELOPERS who gave you a hint... Is it software development?
And WHO does hand off (e.g. a human being or a function or...)

in this case (SW context, UI (?) strings without context, i.e. the usual mess :-)), I would use \"Übergabe/übergeben\"; any idea about the functionality of the sw?? ;-)

"Handoff" = generally useless "present"
Without sufficient context rather difficult to devine!
In US English, a "handoff' generally denotes somewhat deprecative, a gift neither wanted by both giver and receiver.

überlassen
Anderen die Verantwortung überlassen. This is another possibility, but difficult to determine without context.

Übergabe
Unabhängig von der Art des Projekts/Produkts etc. ist das der Punkt, an dem die Verantwortung weitergegeben wird.
